Mothers Day Card - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing a Mothers Day card made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard. The ID theme for May is "Mum" - for me it had to be all about the mothers day card!

I've made a white on white card using 3 layers of white cardstock - I love the elegance and simplicity of white. My card is 14cm x 14cm - I'm loving making square cards at the moment!

I started by painting my background using Prima Watercolor Confections (white, grey, black and gold). I also painted my chipboard with the same paints.

See the lovely sparkle in the gold paint!

I kept my card clean and simple with just the chipboard phrase and flourish and a paper flower.

The background paint looks so pretty :)

Project Life 2016 Week 29 - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I'm showing you Week 29 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album. It has been made using the Pink Paislee "Moonstruck" collection (papers, ephemera and puffy stickers) and the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane stamp set available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I wanted to use the Magnolia Jane stamps on my project, but in a different way than just stamping direct onto my cards. So I firstly watercoloured two 6"x4" white cards, then I stamped each image from the set a few times onto the painted card.

I used a good pair of scissors to fussy-cut each image from the cards.

Next I added some Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane gold foil flakes to some of the roses. I wanted a sparkle here and there so I added some glue in random spots on my flowers then carefully attached some gold foil flakes (tweezers or fingers). Once dry I used my finger to wipe away excess flake (or you could use a paintbrush). Now I had lots of fun embellishments to add to my pages!

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've cut papers from the Moonstruck collection down to 6"x4" and 3"x4" cards for this page and added a range of paper and puffy sticker elements as well as stamped images (using the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane stamp set ). I've also included an air boarding pass and a tag from Movie World :)

I painted this 6"x4" card using my Prima Watercolor Confections then added a diecut and some of my foiled and stamped images.

Here is a close up of the RHS. I've used more papers from the Moonstruck collection and added a range of paper and puffy sticker elements as week as stamped words.

I painted this next card with my Prima Watercolor Confections then added a ticket from Movie World, a paperclip and 2 stamped hearts (from the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane stamp set)

Birthday Cards - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing 3 birthday cards card made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I made this first card for Jessica's 9th birthday. I've used papers from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection - arent they so pretty!! I've uased my watercolour pan paints to paint the chipboard using mainly pinks to coordinate with the papers and I created am ombre effect on the sentiment and frame.

The next card was made for my dear sister-in-law Carol's birthday - I love the happy yellow colour teamed with the fresh green. Again I painted my chipboard with watercolour pan paints then added a layer of glossy accents to make it shine! The papers are from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection.

This last card was made for a friends 50th birthday. Being a male card I used brown coloured pan paints, a KaiserCraft paper pad, and I distressed the edges of the paper.
